Rising
Sidura Ludwig
A young narrator helps Ima prepare challah for the family’s Shabbat meal. They divide the dough, shape it into strands, braid loaves, and wait as the dough rises. The account connects breadmaking with the movement from the week into Shabbat. After changing clothes and pouring grape juice, the family sits down to eat, blessing candles and saying kiddush and hamotzi. Mixed-media artwork uses soft hues with deep blue and bold red details.
